Our response to Jesus’ teaching really matters. The good and honest heart that places Jesus and his teaching above all else will bear fruit.
The question rising from the book of Luke, and now posed by the Parable of the Sower, is this: How are you responding to Jesus?
Jesus loves to forgive the sins of those with faith because those who are forgiven much love much.
Jesus did not always meet people’s expectations. He brought an unexpected salvation and built an unexpected kingdom.
We are called to humbly believe that Jesus’ omnipotent, unstoppable words of command have authority over sickness and death.
The life of discipleship is an examined life, an authentic life, and an enduring life.
Jesus’ command to love our enemies is a personal ethic for persecuted disciples. When we enlarge our frame of reference, we will see that we follow a Savior who exemplified his own command by loving us who were once his enemies.
Disciples are those who have been chosen by Jesus and have decided to follow him. The kingdom of God and all its spiritual blessings belong to them, though with it comes persecution.
The Sabbath showdown of Luke 6 is just one battleground in a war about whether Jesus is subject to our terms for life or whether he is the one who sets them.
Jesus drove the Pharisees nuts by showing such great favor to people who were so greatly ill-deserving.
Jesus is willing and able to cleanse the outcast, and he has the authority to forgive sins.
Jesus calls you to join his team. This call to discipleship is gracious, definite, missional, and sacrificial.
The miracles of Jesus make a statement about the man. They show us his authority, identity, and mission.
Familiarity can blind us to who a person is. The people in Jesus’ hometown of Nazareth were skeptical of his claims and felt entitled to his power. Therefore, they missed the opportunity to humbly hear his message and respond in faith.
Christ ascended to the right hand of the Father and is reigning. His exaltation continues and intensifies his spiritual presence with us, his rule through his Word, his power over our enemies, and his intercession as our advocate.
We must not only remember what Christ has done and look forward to what Christ will do. We must also think carefully about what Christ is doing right now, reigning at the right hand of the Father.
We need God’s help to see God’s Son and God’s Word.
Jesus comes to each of us as a stranger, at first anyway. But when we believe what the Scriptures say about him, we see him in truth.
There are only two responses to the resurrection: it is either an idle tale, or it is something we behold and then marvel.
The burial of Jesus was an emphatic confirmation that Jesus was dead. Yet, after one dark Saturday, he would rise again.
Heaven, Jesus, and the onlookers responded to the cross. How will you respond?
At a certain time and in a certain place, a space-time event occurred. A certain man, a God-man was crucified and died. Significant? World-changing? Nothing else comes even close. Nothing is more important than this.
If Jesus uses the same standards to judge me that I’ve used to judge him, will I be acquitted?
Simeon, his song and his prophecy, leave us marveling, wondering at Jesus. What child is this?
The angels know what's unfolding when Jesus' entered the earth, for they are singing it out! But the humans are just beginning to comprehend.
We used to live in darkness, we were dead, we walked in the path of misery and hopelessness, but Jesus came to lead us into a path of peace and salvation.
Advent begins in the dark. Then, all of a sudden, there's a glimmer of hope. Word comes to Mary that a deliverer is coming.
Through an encounter with Jesus Christ, God radically transforms lives, so that through them others know the good news about his kingdom. In Jesus Christ, we are saved and set free to proclaim the Gospel.
Standing on top of the temple, the devil offered Jesus the opportunity to test his Father's love and power, to be assured of his future. Instead, Jesus entrusted himself to God whose ability to rescue was proven by the resurrection from the dead.
